Rob, those pix are inspirational... Sadly Pamola warned my wife and me off the heights many years ago, and then, in our chagrin, as we drove back out, Glooscap razzed us with a moose's behind. I'm guessing I don't have permission for Baxter's heights.

ml242 offers shots of my favorite place. That's a magnum of solace! Nice blog too.

Looks like a great trip boys, fine shots and TR ML!

Models are definitely all over the place for this weekend+ but I would bet on the Euro considering I am flying west on Sat. morning. Thank me later.

Great shots up above. Planning to ski K Thursday-Saturday. I got the spring pass and it's time to start using it.

**buttahflake** · 03-29-2017, 01:22 PM

I'll be grabbing a Kmart spring pass, also.

Odds that this lady owns more than 6 cats? I think the over is a safe wager.

Great stuff NEK!

That is one supernatural coincidence.

Hoping for an early release on Friday and thus a ~12:45 arrival at Bear. I'll be in touch...

**MyNameIsAugustWest** · 03-29-2017, 03:58 PM

Will be at K with Goniff on Friday. Almost no new snow in NoVT. Let's get a mini going at K on Friday.

**t-the-east** · 03-29-2017, 04:09 PM

Pumped for the "Max Pass" next year and the ability to join you guys at killington and 40+ other mountains, all on my seasons pass

**JayPowHound** · 03-29-2017, 05:19 PM

I'm just going to leave this here...

NERAX 2017 - New England Real Ale Exposition
NEARAX is about gabbing and drinking. I went solo and found conversation as I quenched a thirst. My tasting strategy: light to dark. Notes are first impression and then on further considerations as they came to mind.

The flight:
#1 Five Sisters, 4.3% ABV, Alchemy Brewing Ltd., Edinburgh, Scotland, Several Malts and Chinook
FI: Elegant and Accesible
OFC: perfect session

#2 Pibrock, 7.0% ABV, Cromarty Brewing Co., Davidson, Cromarty, Scotland, Malty and a wee bit smokey
FI: Yummy
OFC: Sunsets and BBQ

#3 Back East Porter 6% ABV, Back East Brewing Co., Bloomfield, CT
FI: So Typical
OFC: Standard in every good way, doesn't insist on attention

#4 Whallop 7.5% ABV, Brass Castle Brewery, Malton England, a Yorkshire Stingo
FI: Winey
OFC: Roasted Mushrooms or Charred flank steak (not one for having another, demands attention)

#5 Norweald Stout 6.5% ABV, Branded Horn Brewing CCo, Biddeford, ME (some IBUs)
FI: Slippery, as in slides right down
OFC: Soothing to nose and palate, pushy finish but only so you'll drink some more.

#6 Imperial Stout, 7.4% ABV, Gun Brewery, Heathfield, East Sussex, England
FI: Piney and smokey
OFC: Better have this with food!

They can have the deposit on the glass, I like its shape. Bought a t-shirt.

Go to NERAX!

I'll never complain about skiing pow and the weekend refresher will help extend the season but I'm ready for corn!

Nono, there were no vids about the summit snowfields that rob invited you too. Those are not the lines you're looking for!

Always great to get a buckethead sighting, and thanks a lot for the compliments guys.
